Popular Post Reno Chris Posted September 9, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2015 So when you get out and run your detector in the right places, this is what you can find: Its the gold I've been getting in various locations in Plumas and Sierra counties in July, August and early September - just going out and prospecting for a few days at a time. I figure I'm probably out digging about 1/3rd of the time. This is just from my detecting in California - it does not show about a half ounce of fines and small bits from some days of dry washing nor does it show the gold I have detected in Nevada. All of this gold was detected using either Minelab's GPZ 7000 or the SDC 2300 - I find I am using both. I use the GPZ in areas with more open country and little in the way of trash, and the SDC 2300 when I am working in trashy areas. The SDC does not have any iron discrimination, but its faster to pinpoint and get the trash out of the ground when you are digging a lot of targets and you may find multiple trash targets in a single swing of the coil. I have used the GPZ in what were once trashy places after the trash has been cleaned out.The two make a great team. The largest nuggets across the top are 0.52, 1.10 and 0.41 troy ounces from left to right. Finding these big guys was very exciting - though every one is a joy to discover. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno Chris Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Wondering what you like to use to clean your gold? A toothbrush and soapy water. I don't even use a sonic cleaner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumblefish Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 That's really cool Chris. One thing I don't understand - I thought the GPZ was effectively a GPX5000/SDC2300 mutant, and then some. Does the GPZ not detect small gold as well as the SDC?
